That’s the same as GLP-1, right? Is that available UGL?
But it will also help to retain muscle in a cut. I did my TRT plus 500mg/wk primo earlier this year for a slower cut and got great results. Ended up more recomp as I leaned up a bit and put on a bit of muscle as well eating just under maintenance.
I guess, I know AAS is good for retaining muscle (why BBers use a lot while cutting for a show), but IME, when trying to recomp with Test, I didn’t make a ton of gains (didn’t lose muscle, and put a bit on, but underwhelming, and the fat loss was not extreme either).
I lost some size cutting and injury (cruising at the time), and gained it all back in a month on blast. If there were no show to look good for, would cutting on a blast be as good as cutting on TRT, then using a blast to regain muscle and add some while in a surplus.
I’ve seen some BBers who lost a lot of size put it on so quickly when they start blasting, and since they put that lost muscle on so quickly, they don’t have many calories go to fat as all the surplus goes to muscle.
At the end of the day we are all different. You haver to experiment to see what works best for your goals. When I blast to bulk I eat very clean and boring so I put on a little size but not much fat. When it comes time to cut i’m not in super bad shape fat wise so I can recomp and get the results i’m looking for without too much suffering.
Me too. I get diet coke with my value meals even on blast. Kidding, but only a little. I get a lot of the healthier fast food (stuff like the double chicken bowl at chipolte).
I will pretty much eat chicken and rice or noodles for lunches and eggs/toast and oatmeal the other meals. It’s actually difficult to get 3000+ cals in a day doing it this way. If I stall I will add in 1 or 2 meals a week of home made pizza or something along those lines to get the extra calories in. I will typically schedule these meals around bench and leg day. The bulk I am currently on has prob been my best so far. 12 weeks and adding about 14 lbs total and I belive 8-10 of it is good tissue. Coming off eveything this week and will go back to 170mg/wk for 6 weeks for bloodwork while still trying to add some size. After that I will access with my trainer to see if we are gonna continue to add size or start cutting…
I found this and thought it was interesting. With as much muscle as you’re carrying around surly you’re BMI is “bad”
“” Now, semaglutide (under the brand name Wegovy) is FDA-approved for weight loss in adults with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30mg/kg² alone or 27 mg/kg² with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, high cholesterol).Jun 8, 2021””
I just crossed the barrier from overweight to obese. Maybe I can get a script. My health insurance is pretty shitty though.
That’s awesome dude! I hope to one day be there as well
Holy prices Batman!!! What’s the “normal” dose for something like this?
Loading phase for Wegovy is .25mg per week for four weeks. After that you move up in .25mg increments to as high as your doctor wants you to go.
Shit. Is. Amazing.
It is available under a different name, but it’s still pricey.
The prescribing guidelines are hilariously loose. BMI of 27 (which pretty much every dude who’s decently built and under 5’11” is sitting at or above) and another comorbidity, like high BP (which anyone on gear probably has at any given time).
The Rx is the easy part, getting it covered is harder, and this stuff runs $1600/mo depending on which brand you get.
Or you can get it from a couple clinics with no BMI requirement. That’s how I got my Sema. Or some peptide sites sell the shorter acting Liraglutide for a reasonable price. I use both and prefer Lira cos I can take it when cravings hit. The Sema gives me some anxiety when first starting that fades during the week. Both wipe out your appetite
@swoops39 - WHere are you getting Semaglutide and Liraglutide?
Defy sells Semaglutide for $275 for [2.5mg (3ml vial) ($40 shipping). I’m looking for the mos tcost effective option moving forward. I’ve heard some places selling it in larger dosages (10ml), but am unsure where.
That’s the cheapest I have seen it offered for
In my case, it isn’t, not really. Since I was a kid I’ve spent just about every minute either eating food, thinking about food, or worrying about food. Just never can get around it for some reason. I’ve used Ephedrine, Phentermine, ADHD meds, etc. and the best thing was GLP-1, a small dose daily or weekly and I finally stop thinking about food 24/7. I could lose some weight, that’s for sure, but it’s more just having the control back. Feeling more normal. The side effects for me are constipation, but that’s easy to manage.
Email sent! I have never increased dose. I did .1mg of Lira nightly last summer and lost 30 lbs and broke the binge eating streak I had been on. The Sema I use .1mg 2-4 times weekly and it takes that edge off while not completely destroying my hunger
@swoops39 Can you message me this as well? I’ve never taken Lira. Just Sema. Wondering where you are getting Lira, and at what cost.
The sciency peptide place. Orange happens to be my favorite color anyway.
Shit, you can get it through the research chem places… Mind blown. I’ll have to check that out too.
